Cannot Use Without Picking a Boilerplate #1849

Closed lizzkitt3h closed 8 months ago

lizzkitt3h commented 8 months ago

It appears that sometime between yesterday and today the website changed. It is now showing an overlay which cannot be closed over the "Result" box which makes it impossible to highlight and copy the text from this box as well. These buttons weren't here previously for the last several years, so I'm not sure what changed. Please fix this issue. I have no idea why this was changed--the website worked great as it was. I've been using it for years. I'm a big fan and thank you for hearing me out and also everyone who's helped contribute to this.

In fact you can use without picking a boilerplate.

All existing fiddles will not show boilerplates, nor will the new buttons be displayed after running/saving a fiddle.

I might add a "dismiss" button just for additional clarity.

No, you cannot use it without picking a boiler plate. That's the reason why I submitted the ticket--the site is currently unusable for me due to this change. The new buttons definitely do not go away after running a fiddle. It at minimum should have a dismiss button option. I believe the old version of these buttons did. I am on chrome and the issue is repeatable/consistent on multiple computers.

I will personally would rather it just go back to what it was before--it just feels like extra visual clutter to me. I do see merit in trying to do something new though. If someone does regularly use this maybe it would be helpful, but I don't think I'd like it solely due to muscle memory built up from using this site for the last 7+ years. Would be nice to see input on this from someone else on this change otherwise. My main concern is just the site becoming usable again.

There was a small bug that sometimes prevented the boilerplates from being hidden. Should now work as expected - hidden when running a fiddle.

I'll check on Chrome later today.

We'll be testing many new things in JSFiddle in the upcoming months, so some changes will stick and some won't. Introduced the new boilerplates just yesterday, will give them some time before deciding on its future.

Looks to be ok on Chrome as far as I can see.
